EXPERIENCE

OTHER INFORMATION

When should I place an order?

Luxury cakes require planning and I request as much notice as possible for a cake order. Wedding cake orders generally require a minimum notice of 6 months at present, although I recommend booking earlier to guarantee availability!

How do you price your cakes?

My cake prices are calculated based on the ingredients I have used, the time I have taken to bake and decorate a cake and the skill level required to complete the decorative techniques. My signature sugar floristry, floral painting and royal icing piping work can be time consuming and it has taken me many years to learn and refine it, reflective of my cake prices. I only use the highest quality, organic where possible, ingredients available, again, this is reflected in my prices. Ultimately, the price of your cake will depend on the complexity of the design and the size you require. Take a look at my Cake Prices page to get a clearer idea of my pricing and how it links with sizing and portions.

Do you cater for particular dietary requirements?

I cannot offer vegan cakes or gluten free cakes currently, but plan on being able to do so in the future. I am unable to make cakes with a low sugar content or cakes suitable for people with diabetes at this time.

Do you take on orders for non wedding cakes?

I am also able to make cakes for birthdays and other such special occasions. However, novelty cakes are not my speciality and I am therefore unable to take on orders for this type of cake.  Additionally, I regret I cannot take on order requests involving edible printing or artificial/silk flowers (rather than fresh or sugar flowers).  I create my own designs and therefore do not produce exact copies of cakes by other designers.

Do I need to put down a deposit?

Once you have decided to book me as your cake designer, I require a £100 non refundable booking fee in order to secure your date. The full bespoke design process cannot begin until your booking fee has been received.

How does wedding cake delivery work?

I deliver my wedding cakes (and favours, if applicable) to Bristol and it's close surrounding areas only at present (within a 40 mile radius of my address).  I will deliver and set up your cake at your venue and this is the safest and highly advised option.  My Delivery & Set Up service has a FROM charge of £45 plus mileage at 65p per mile and travel at £20 an hour. Cakes being decorated with fresh flowers are usually considered more complex set ups, as it can take considerable time to prepare stems ready for safe insertion into the cake.

Do you hire out cake stands?

Cake stand hire is available for my wedding cakes. I have many beautiful stands and a stand befitting the style of your cake will quite simply make it look even more spectacular! If you would like to hire one of my high quality cakes stands, a security bond totaling the cost of the stand chosen is required to cover any potential loss or damages, which is refunded once the stand is returned and if it isn’t damaged in any way. Cake stand hire is £15 for up to 5 days, after which time you will need to return it to me at an agreed suitable location and time.

Allergen info - Are your cakes suitable for people who have food allergies?

Since my cakes are produced in a small kitchen that use NUTS, EGGS, MILK, SOYA, SESAME, GLUTEN and ALCOHOL, I cannot guarantee that a particular product is free from allergen traces. There is always a risk that a product has come into contact with allergen items. Therefore, I regret my cakes are unsuitable for people with food allergies and intolerances. Please contact me if you have any specific questions/concerns about allergens.
